Its about moving forward being happy  now that your gone
Its about believing...

It's not what goes in that makes us unclean.
In our heart already there's an evil thing.
Generating negative thoughts, all kinds.
Causing us to do bad things some of the time.
We wonder why some people can be...

THE NATURE OF THINGS

THE NATURE OF THINGS

Birds ATE Worms,
Worms tilled Soil,
Frogs ATE Flies,
Bees Made Honey,
Fish ATE Worms,
People ATE Fish,
Cats ATE Fish
Butterflies and bees
Pollinated.
Grass Grew, and the
Dandelions flew
al around' all around'
and Were Welcomed,
Life was simple back...

The Epitaph of Earth may soon be writ
Upon the memory of a glory gone
For all things bright and beautiful, that inter-fused with death
Like harmony and breath have fled as one

How tenderly you cared for me
when you found me broken on the road
did lift me up gave me your own cup
removed from me my heavy load
 
You dressed my wounds with healing balm
every injury you...

Once upon a time I used to be your addiction 
Now you're living in a world where you can't tell the difference between fact and fiction 
Your habits are slowly killing you and they're killing...

(A lone voice whispers)


As we stroll this Long Walk together
On Boxing Day

Someone's prayer reached out through the Ether and asked me

Hey
Are we all silently walking in a spiritual sense

Do some like me walk blindly...

Time it passes without any warning
I remember when I had a lot of hair
In a flash the hair is all gone
It isn’t much any more
It’s all grey now
Time hmm it flies just like that
People leave...

As the years go by and things begin to change…its time for us to step up and get ready 
to take over the reigns.  Our parents as the baby boomers did their part. ...

Who initially determined what is good and what is bad? What to think, and what not to ask? Why the hell doesn't anyone else voice more questions like that? Why are most people sheep that...

If you have courage...

If you have courage...
You will, open your eyes
If you have courage...
You will not believe all their lies

If you have courage...
You will get up when you stumble
If you have courage...
You will always try...

They know nothing.
They know nothing about me because all they see is a pretty face.
They know nothing about me, all they do is stare.
They, oh how they, will get me nowhere.
They want me around as...

There are those who heedlessly follow the crowd
There are also a few who singularly continually do not
Some of these do it to be different, while some just are
They dance to their own voice, hear a...

Socialites

those was good days.
sneakin' out the bedroom window
tryin' harder not to wrinkle our frocks
than not to wake momma

runnin' down the dusty road
with pointy-toe pumps in tote
hopin' we didn't miss too much
of the party.

greeted at the...

Write a “how-to” poem about something you don’t know how to do - 'being normal'

I can approximate it
I've seen it up close occasionally
Sleight of being
It's starts with etiquette, a learned behaviour
'Good' then the time of...

We're together in this, the fault is ours
withhold the explanation
we'll share the blame.
"Not in this life! my take is already on the billboard"

Now is the time to stick together
holding each other, sharing one umbrella
until this...

If you had one chance to make a wish what would that be?
 
I am a Nigerian both by birth n name,
I come from Earth so do you
We all search for fame don't you too?

I traveled the road of ease till I could not any more
It left bad memories and disenchantment
Not able to hold my head high and see the wrong
I came to a fork in my path, I...

Let Them Judge You


When you stand up and speak for the things you believe,
Or you show what you feel; wear your heart on your sleeve.
When your thoughts and opinions don’t follow the crowd,
And you’re brutally...

It's easy to love the masses, to partially give,
It creates an image, we believe we live,
It builds our ego, and self esteem,
But what good is it if our hearts don't reach out personally,
It is an...

~ Be A Winner~

You shouldn't concentrate in what's wrong 
But try to dwell more in what's good 
You'll reap more as you go along 
Do what's right as you know you should...

We are the enemy of a state of mind.
The truth is now so hard to find.
With societies crumbling, we bear the weight.
Of silent struggles and a fractured fate. 

Where Cities riddled with monkey dust.
With governments...

PERPETUAL PEACE

‘A hollow victory, this success I’ve gained.’

I follow the crowd of fueled hysteria, though we have nowhere to go. The landscape’s been altered - the black and blue of evil’s all that’s left. Yesterday’s...

In this castle
Created in my mind
A tree,
This tree
A scar
A jagged one 
Still healing
Blood dripping
Forms a path

Two watchmen
Chipping away
Away at it's skin
Creating holes
To suck out blood
Warning others 
To follow the path

The path
A constant path
Almost invisible 
Leaves...
